February's OMG

It's February and time to share what my one goal for the month will be. But before I do that I would like to update on the surgery that was suppose to have today for Carpal Tunnel.
I've been having discomfort for some time in the upper abdominal area but haven't yet pinpointed the cause. Had an ultrasound done this past week and gave no clue. So as precaution we'll reschedule and do a few other test. 
Otherwise I feel fine.
So now to my goal...



Since I have all the embroidery done on the Friendship blocks and trimmed down.....it's time to put it together.



This is it so far.



It will of course be set on point and as of right now I'm not sure if it will have a border or not. 



My thoughts are not to use this quilt on a bed but do look forward to displaying it.... so size is not an issue.



I expect this be an easy goal as long as I don't run into no problems.

    Visiting from NTT. Your Granny Square blocks are lovely. I don't think a border is needed. I am sure they will shine just by themselves :-)

How to Make a Portable Design Wall

I had wanted to get a portable design wall to take to retreats but did not want to pay the price. Looked at various pins on pinterest and took ideas from more than one to come up with my verison. It worked out great and only cost a fraction of the price. The PVC pipes, joints and 2 yards of felt cost under $22.00 My design wall is 4' x 4' which stands approximately 5 1/5' tall. For this size need 2 - 10ft length of 3/4" PVC pipe for the frame and 4ft of 1" PVC pipe for the feet Cut the 3/4" PVC into 4 - 4' section                                                                                       2 - 1' section              Cut the 1"  PVC into 4 - 1' section          The joints you'll need will be 2 - 3/4" elbows 2 - 3/4" T's 2 - 3/4" to 1" T (this will be the base of the Feet) 4 - 1" elbow Also need pipe cutters (this cost me almost as much

Yarn Along 2/20/13 Spoon Pin Doily

It's snowing here and I know some of you are tired of snow but here we will take the moisture any way we can get it. Plus it just gives me a reason to stay in and work on some of my projects. In this picture I'm not sure if you can make it out but in the background there are some wild turkeys that hang around the house sometime, just  chilling This project I'm working on is Spool Pin Doilies.   I had never heard of them before until Bonnie Hunter had mentioned it on her blog . She a had a viewer send her one for her sewing machine along with a pattern. I did not like the pattern but loved the idea so I decided to make up my own version. I wanted a more simple, smaller and fuller doily. So I tried different thread sizes to get one that I like. (From left to right) I tried sock yarn, which I'll redo because I think I like that look. Heavy weight crochet thread, nope too big Bamboo yarn, I like it. Looks good on my Kenmore. Pearl cott
